ARMIN ROSEN:
1. "uranium implosion" is wrong. An implosion bomb requires plutonium239. A uranium bomb requires highly enriched metallic uranium in a gun-type device. Go to school.
2. The human race has never been capable of wiping itself out within minutes. An Extinction Level Event [ELE] means 100 million megatons. At the most, the whole world had only one part in ten thousand of a sufficient number of bombs to cause an ELE.
3. The problem with Castle Bravo was that the yield was unexpectedly high, not anything else. An isotope of lithium [lithium7] that was not expected to join in the reaction did join in the reaction, resulting in 3 times as much energy as expected. The Russians made the same mistake with the Tsar Bomb. Now we know that lithium7 is better than lithium6 for hydrogen bombs.
4. Global Warming [GW], if continued, will be an Extinction Level Event [ELE]. There is only one solution to GW with current technology. That one possible solution is nuclear power. Renewables are too intermittent to be of any use. We do not have the required battery technology. Nor do we have the required room temperature superconductor.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53a565e86bb3f798487cbf90TmacSat, 21 Jun 2014 07:00:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53a565e86bb3f798487cbf90
Where is the chart showing the material aid the US gave to the nuclear programs of Iran, Iraq and Pakistan?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53a4a15f69beddd472228d95John HowingtonFri, 20 Jun 2014 17:02:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53a4a15f69beddd472228d95
No, this chart is nonsensical and was created from someone on heavy doses of illegal drugs.
